New York Day 4

This is one of the dresses Sharon Stone tried on in her fitting- a gorgeous hand pleated pink chiffon gown with mesh top. 

Some more costumes that came in and I had to sort through / package today...

On my way during an errand, I walked through Chinatown. 

Here I picked up Sharon Stone's tiara from Donna the jeweler. I wish I could have taken a picture of the jeweler modeling it for me! It is made of rose gold and is very delicate, perfect for a greek god. 

I started the day walking Kate's dog (I keep forgetting the name...Hedgie maybe?).  She is very cute. I'll take a picture tomorrow. I got to work, and packaged up some stuff that had been returned from the "truck" (aka the van that brings supplies back and forth from the office to the film set).  Then, I went to J. Mendel on Madison to return a few dresses.  This J. Mendel was not the sample office, but the actual retail store...the glass doors were locked to the outside and I had to be let in through a special buzzer. Inside, everything that is not a gown was either sparkly or furry...sparkly walls, furry rugs...even the couch was covered in fluffy black fur.  I didn't dare sit or move very much.  I handed over the garment bag to the woman at her desk who said, "Didn't work out for her?" I felt stupid rejecting her expensive dresses on behalf of some famous actress who doesn't know me and for whom I am literally an errand girl for her lowest assistant. Best I could do was, "Not these ones." Oh well. 

Later that afternoon I was sent to a jeweler on Bowery to pick up a tiara.  It is really pretty. I hope she actually wears it in the film so that I can say that I was the first crew member to see it, and who brought it back to the office. Lunch today was a falafel sandwich...it came in sort of a box so that you didn't have to get your hands dirty. I wonder if New Yorkers ever eat anything inconvenient, messy, or that requires preparation.  Down where I work, it kind of doesn't seem like it. Later I made a gigantic Lord and Taylor returns run.

After work today, I was not completely exhausted for the first time, so I walked around Broome Street and the SoHo area a bit, before going uptown to get my hair cut at this Japanese salon called Hoshi Coupe that Meredith recommended. It's the first haircut I've actually liked in a long time- and I liked that there was very little obligatory small talk and no pushing of products. A-plus!
